Beyond the Oaks

The character in this piece is inspired by stories in Dutch folklore of Moss Fairies end Elves who lived amongst the trees. Like Scotland, the Netherlands hold the Celtic belief of the sacredness of trees, in particular Oak Trees, so elements of this can be seen in the mural to represent the Celtic connection of the Netherlands and Scotland. The character can be seen wearing a helmet and holding a wheel, this is to represent the strong connection in Assen with cycling and motorcycling.
